Hired Attorney Jay M. Lopez

I tried to have adoption papers typed up to sign. He didn't fill out the paperwork at all, so there was nothing to sign. He did not put the correct information in the court papers relating to child support.

Jay M. Lopez did not follow and communicate my requests to the opposing party. He did not provide accurate information about what I should expect and he did not provide enough information for the process.

Hired Attorney Jay M. Lopez

Let’s just say the guy isn’t a quality lawyer. Once he gets his money it’s a wrap. He leaves key descriptions out of writing so if you want to fight for something that you’re entitled to you’ll have to retain him again in order to get anything taken care of which should have been taken care of the first time. Wouldn’t recommend him to anyone.

Hired Attorney Jay M. Lopez

I hired Mr. Lopez for a custody case. His father Jose is a outstanding attorney however to my disappointment it seems none of those genes made their way to Jay. Jay lacks any skills a good attorney possess is the nicest way I can put it. He has very limited knowledge of family law and is spineless cowering in the presence of opposing counsel. He accomplished nothing other than prolonging and contributing to the abuse my children. Do not trust Jay with the fate of you children!

Hired Attorney Jay M. Lopez

I found that it was very difficult to communicate with Jay. Never received a return call from him, and minimal email responses. His record keeping was sloppy (a yellow folder for my ENTIRE case), and no memory of facts from one meeting to the next. I was forced to terminate the service. His brother Justin then sued me in small claims court for billed time after termination. They faked service of court papers and got a summary judgement for something I knew nothing about. BEWARE...

Hired Attorney Jay M. Lopez

Made false promises and once he got my money everything changed. Very immature and acted like my case was a joke. 2 months after my case, I still had not received the court documents pertaining to my case. I called and left my concerns of such on his answering machine. No phone call or paperwork was ever received. His father needs to step in and give him some lessons on "How to be a good attorney". At the rate he's going, their law practice will get a bad reputation! I would NEVER recommend him

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
